Abstract:		 The evaluation undertaken within the playground showed that quarrying for clunch took place on the site in the past. Roman finds from one of the quarries suggested a possible earliest date in the Roman period. The presence of worked pieces of clunch in the quarries suggested that it was being quarried for use nearby. This may have indicated a substantial Roman building in the vicinity, although the finds may have been residual and there were several buildings still standing in Swaffam Bulbeck which used clunch in their construction, including the 13th century church and parts of the school buildings and village hall. Other undated possible structural features were also encountered in the trenches. [Au]
